2018 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The 2018 Subaru WRX is an absolute blast to drive. Thanks to the twin-scroll turbo, you have low-end torque that is perfect for city driving and overall better fuel-economy compared to the previous generations. The WRX shines on winding roads and wants to be pushed; If you're a car enthusiast and have a family, then this is a great option. Where the car drops in rating is the rev-hang, which is almost unbearable at times. Good luck driving smooth in first gear or shifting from 1st to 2nd. The throttle mapping will make a veteran driver look like a beginner. You almost have to ride the clutch in order to ensure a smooth shift. The interior is not the best, but for a Subaru, they've come a long way. Long road trips are comfortable with the stock cloth seats, and the new FA20 allows you to get 30+mpg on the highway. Overall, this is a fantastic car for any enthusiast that wants the practicality of a 4-door, but doesn't sacrifice performance. Would give a 4/5 review, but that rev-hang has got to go.

I drove 2018 WRX Premium with Performance package. Outstanding! This car handles like a king and the RECARO seats deliver great support and firmness. Shifting is precise and steering gives you a great feedback. I would recommend to test drive different trims and packages before you make your decision. Now Subaru has a car for every driver

Pros: Exterior appearance and design is appealing; performance is reasonable given the displacement; suspension is stiff and responsive; interior design is appealing; sporty comfortable for a rally type vehicle. Cons: Interior rattles from rear deck lid no revision on the part so you'll have to deal with this on your own; door panel rattle and no revision for this issue; quality of the sound system is disappointing even with speaker upgrades; rear brake/wheel rattles at 0 miles that the dealer still cannot pin-point; and the most frustrating is knocking/ loose sounding of front strut; I've had both front struts warranty out at 5K and only temporarily fixed the issue. Thus again, no revision on the struts so your stuck with it out go aftermarket performance, Overall: It's reasonable car based on its performance and appearance, but significant corners have been cut on quality initiatives. For a vehicle that has supposed to have performance suspension to experience strut failures at 5K is absolutely unacceptable. Subaru design engineers and supplier of the struts should had developed a revision for this issue long ago. I'll most likely drive the vehicle a few more years, but unfortunately quite possibly my first and last Subaru.

My Affordable Dream Car

Check out my YouTube channel on realistic ownership perspectives and how to buy a Subaru WRX under MSRP @ YouTube.com/TomVangTV. I saved up 3 years to finally be able to afford this WRX. It is very refined, pretty quick, and an all-around Jack of all trades. I can’t praise this vehicle enough. Get behind the wheel of this car and you will understand what I mean. I average 28-30+ MPG on a full tank premium at 400 miles off this car. It is fast when I want it to, and tamed when I want it to. It gets attention and there’s no buyer’s remorse. I promise you this vehicle is very solid. And worst case scenario if this car doesn’t fit your need, the slow rate of depreciation will help get you back on your feet.
